Java SOA Cookbook offers practical solutions and advice to programmers charged with implementing a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in their organization. Instead of providing another conceptual, high-level view of SOA, this cookbook shows you how to make SOA work. It's full of Java and XML code you can insert directly into your applications and recipes you can apply right away. The book focuses primarily on the use of free and open source Java Web Services technologies -- including Java SE 6 and Java EE 5 tools -- but you'll find tips for using commercially available tools as well. Java SOA Cookbook will help you:

• Construct XML vocabularies and data models appropriate to SOA applications

• Build real-world web services using the latest Java standards, including JAX-WS 2.1 and JAX-RS 1.0 for RESTful web services

• Integrate applications from popular service providers using SOAP, POX, and Atom

• Create service orchestrations with complete coverage of the WS-BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) 2.0 standard

• Improve the reliability of SOAP-based services with specifications such as WS-Reliable Messaging

• Deal with governance, interoperability, and quality-of-service issues

The recipes in Java SOA Cookbook will equip you with the knowledge you need to approach SOA as an integration challenge, not an obstacle.

A handy book for web service starter - 2010-01-08
Reviewer Rating:
I am working on my very first web service project and am using WebLogic 10.3. The Oracle site has good tutorial on how to use the wsdlc, wsgen, clientgen to generate web service. But I need someone/something to guide me when I have some little questions. Like how to write wsdl so the operation throws exception; what tools to monitor SOAP traffic...etc. And this book has already answered several of my questions and has already paid for itself.

Fine book - 2009-12-01

This book covers a lot of SOA, but it makes it in a way that is very boring and doesn't get to the point (any point) as fasta as someone would like.
Bottomline, this is a good book for reference but not for learning how to make a SOA from scratch

SOA must have... - 2009-11-17

I don't write product reviews often but this book is as good as it gets. It's almost oracular. Ask a question and there the answer is. It aims to be broad but practical and it succeeds in that aim.

Excelente trabajo el de Hewitt. El primer capitulo puede ser suficiente para pagar el precio. Cualquier empresa/arquitecto con una iniciativa SOA debe leer este libro.
Completamente recomendado.

Good Beginners Book for Java SOA Developers - 2009-11-17
Reviewer Rating:
Its a great buy for any Java SOA Developer. It very well starts with the xml concepts explaining schema and other details and then gets into the webservices concepts, finally diving into BPEL and ESB stuff.

It does not cover detailed concepts for BPEL and ESB but gives a very good brief explanation of the topics and headstart for a developer to dive into these topics. Overall its a good buy for a person who wants to start from webservices and then start understanding SOA Concepts as it covers both the restful and SOAP based services concepts.
